Behind the faç ade of perfect selfies, the mental health of teenage girls is crumbling. They spend hours a day on social media, where rigid sex stereotypes and victimhood culture reign. Many struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, and exposure to violent porn. Non-conforming girls - particularly lesbians - and girls with autism or ADHD are pressured to identify as boys. Girls are coerced to conform to the familial, cultural, religious and political norms and ideologies they grow up with. But there is hope. This book tells the stories of young rebels fighting stereotypes and cultural misogyny to forge their own path. Fifty contributors from countries including The Netherlands, Spain, USA, United Kingdom, Taiwan, China, Afghanistan and Australia pose questions rarely discussed about what it means to be a girl today. Rebel Girls includes stories and photographs of young women themselves who explain how they are navigating the complex challenges faced by girls. The future for girls is crucial for the future of everyone. This uplifting collection demonstrates how the next generation is continuing the feminist fight to expose misogyny and find autonomy, enjoyment and independence.
